OCaml could almost replace all of those. I don’t think there is a BEAM compiler backend yet.
I’m not very experienced with BEAM, but could its features be delivered with a framework on top of a different stack? I know Akka is popular.

- ubercore 2y agoGC precludes OCaml from replacing a chunk of those.
- fredrikholm 2y agoActor model is a small component of the BEAM. Even then, it guarantees yields to the scheduler. This is practically impossible to retrofit on to an existing language, esp. in the presence of loops.
- cassepipe 2y agoThe OCaml backend for the BEAM was called Caramel but has been abandoned after his author went on working on hiw own build system, warp.
